Human Trafficking



Disclaimer

I am not an attorney.  This paper in no way intends to cast suspicions of guilt and this paper is not part of a legal investigation into the truth of any accusations alleging wrong doings.  Today’s only concern stems from a fact that we are becoming desensitized to a point that we are beginning to believe certain acts are normal and natural.  Examples are all over the place and range from same sex marriage, to free and promiscuous sex, to taxpayer funded abortions on demand, and any type of and any form of impulsive and reckless behavior.

Impulsive and Reckless Behavior

Impulsive and reckless behavior includes anything that can produce physical self-harm; or comes from impulsive and reckless behaviors.  Impulsive and reckless behavior does not have to be self-inflicted.  Impulsive and reckless behavior can come from the hands of a perpetrator.  Such impulsive and reckless behavior can come from the acts listed below.  Physical self-harm can be cutting or pulling out hair, burning, scratching, cutting, or any other bodily harm.  Sometimes, without proper care and help, an individual may begin to think suicide is their only option.
Just a short list of specific impulsive and reckless behavior that we are becoming desensitized to includes:
  1. pedophilia, a sexual perversion in which children are the preferred sexual object: a psychiatric disorder in which an adult has sexual fantasies about or engages in sexual acts with a prepubescent child,
  2. child trafficking, a form of human trafficking and is defined as the "recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring, or receipt" kidnapping a child into slavery, forced labor and exploitation,
  3. sex trafficking, trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation, including sexual slavery. A victim is forced, in one of a variety of ways, into a situation of dependency on their trafficker and then used by said trafficker to give sexual services to customers, and
  4. human trafficking, the action or practice of illegally transporting people from one country or area to another, typically for the purposes of forced labor or sexual exploitation.
It has been estimated there are nearly 410 incidents of sex trafficking in Atlanta every day.  Sounds a little high at first then you figure Atlanta is a major hub connecting to all parts of the world.  If those numbers are even close to accurate, that is nearly 150,000 annual incidents off sex trafficking going through just Atlanta.  Those numbers are staggering!
Perhaps Brazil’s most nefarious sex trafficker is Joao Teixeira de Faria - known as John of God.  It is believed the likes of celebrities such as Bill Clinton, singer Paul Simon and supermodel Naomi Campbell are among Joao’s visitors.  Joao boasts of healing powers to cure diseases, including cancer, while at the same time it is alleged that Joao is personally responsible for the sex trafficking of more than 600 women from around the world.
It is also alleged that Joao keeps young girls held captive in remote locations where they are forced to produce babies for ten years until ultimately young mothers are murdered.

Celebritization of Human Trafficking

celebritization (usually uncountable, plural celebritizations)  The process of celebritizing.
Have you ever heard of Allison Mack or Kristin Kreuk?  How about Nancy or Lauren Salzman or Clare Bronfman or Kathy Russell or Keith Raniere?  Have you ever heard of NXIVM?  You can go in a lot of directions with just these few questions, I will take you on a short and guided tour to help you along your way.
NXIVM is a Roman numeral that adds up to 1062 or it could be a satanic cult for which NXIVM means I love Satan.  Or, you could be talking about a sub group called NXIVM DOS which loosely means lord over the obedient female companions a sex trafficking organization which formed around 1998 in upstate New York by its founder Keith Raniere and co-founders Nancy and Lauren Salzman and in part funded by the wealthy Seagrams heiress Clare Bronfman.  Allison Mack and Kristin Kreuk (among other things) helped provide obedient female companions, and Kathy Russell is the former bookkeeper for NXIVM.  What do they have in common?  They all share federal charges that range from extortion to sex trafficking to possession of child pornography.
How about Jeffrey Epstein or his girlfriend/companion Ghislaine Maxwell?  Have you ever heard of Virginia Giuffre?  She was the (then) 17 year old who alleges she was trafficked by Epstein and Maxwell to a young British bloke named Prince Andrew.
Just a few more celebrity names from Jeffrey Epstein’s book include former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, wealthy financier Glenn Dubin, former senator George Mitchell, now-deceased MIT scientist Marvin Minsky, and modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel, and Bill Clinton.[1]
There is no small wonder that our youth should suffer a weakening of moral standards; after all, the wealthy and famous and the leaders of the world are accused without apparent repercussions.  When our youth are encouraged by high profile celebrities to rebel against established laws and practices, it will eventually destroy the entire family unit.

Signs of Human Trafficking and Targets for Human Trafficking

Victims of Human Trafficking typically exhibit signs of physical and psychological trauma (example) anxiety, shock, lack of memory of recent events, bruising, or untreated conditions such as for diabetes or migraine conditions; etc.  Victims of Human Trafficking in the United States are men and women, adults and children, and foreign nationals and U.S. citizens.
Although anyone can become a victim of Human Trafficking, victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, war and conflict or social discrimination may be targeted by traffickers, who recognize the vulnerabilities left by these prior abuses. Violence and abuse may be normalized or beliefs of shame or unworthiness lead to future susceptibility to human trafficking.
